Special Resident Retiree's Visa (SRRV)
We help foreign retirees choose the right SRRV option and prepare a complete application with the Philippine Retirement Authority.
Overview
Retirement residence in the Philippines
The Special Resident Retiree’s Visa allows qualifying foreign retirees to live in the Philippines. It is administered by the Philippine Retirement Authority, not the Bureau of Immigration, and it offers several options. The required deposit and eligibility conditions vary by option, by the applicant’s age and by whether the applicant receives a pension, so the right choice depends on your circumstances.
We look at your age, pension status and plans, confirm which SRRV option fits your case, and explain what that option requires. We then prepare the application file, coordinate the deposit and documentary requirements with the PRA, and handle the steps that follow approval. Where a spouse or children will join you, we include them in the plan from the start.

Frequently asked questions
SRRV questions
How much is the SRRV deposit?
It depends on the option, your age and whether you receive a pension, and the PRA sets and updates the requirements. We confirm the current requirement for your option during the consultation.
Can I bring my spouse?
A spouse and unmarried children under 21 can generally be included as dependents, subject to the rules of the option. We confirm eligibility for each family member.
Can I work or run a business on an SRRV?
The SRRV is a residence visa, and working or doing business may need separate clearances. We confirm what applies to your plans before you start.
